Via Glenn Thrush, Byron York reports that Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is joining the campaign against Kevin Jennings, the openly gay head of the Education
“„Despite serving as the ‘safe schools’ czar, Jennings has demonstrated a willingness to look the other way on sexual abuse. His life’s work has been the promotion of homosexuality, even in elementary schools, and he has demonstrated no qualifications to make students safer in our schools.
“„Jennings wrote that in 1988, when he was a high school teacher, he was approached by a 15 year-old boy who said he had become involved with an older man. Instead of notifying the boy’s parents or any authorities, Jennings instead offered the boy advice: “I hope you used a condom.” Critics accused Jennings of turning a blind eye to child abuse. In response, Jennings’ defenders said the boy was 16 years old, not 15, suggesting that Jennings had no responsibility to protect him.
